Being black, Latino, or Asian is not a genre. Romantic comedies, thrillers, action - those are genres. I think there's a lot of people who want to have the conversation. I don't think people are afraid of it, I just think it's the time to have that conversation. Race is not a genre.

I think pregnancy, like life, is what you make it. I received a good hand. Furthermore, I'm thankful and blessed and so peaceful and can't wait to welcome my son.
